Alabama starting running back Eddie Lacy sprained his ankle and a knee in Saturday's practice.

“Not a serious thing. Probably going to be day to day but probably be a little bit slow next week," coach Nick Saban told AL.com. "I think in five to six days he’ll probably be ready to go.”

The Tide practiced in the rain and when asked if that might have been a contributing factor in Lacy's injury, Saban was put off.

"I didn't see anybody trip over a raindrop," he said.

An injury to Lacy would be a setback for the Tide. He sustained a toe injury in the fourth game of last season and then had offseason surgery. Lacy was inactive in spring, but has shown no ill effects of the injury throughout fall camp.

Dee Hart, who redshirted last year after tearing his ACL, will likely get the most work in Lacy's absence.
